Brighton Lovers Walk Traction and Rolling Stock Maintenance Depot is a traction maintenance depot located in Brighton, East Sussex, England. The depot is situated adjacent to the Brighton Main Line and is to the north of Brighton station.[3]
The depot code is BI.
History
The depot was opened in 1848 as a carriage works by the LB&SCR, being converted in 1933 to an EMU depot by the Southern Railway. At that time, it had adjoining five and seven-track dead-ended buildings.[4]
In 1987, the depot's allocation included class 421, 422 and 423 EMUs.[2] Around the same time, the depot was also used to stable locomotives, including classes 09, 33, 47 and 73.[3]
Modernisation resulted in the five-track building being reduced to a four-track from 2002, and the depot was reopened for servicing Class 377 units in 2006. A mix of Bombardier Transportation and Southern Railway technicians are based here.[4]
Allocation
The depot's allocation consists of Gatwick Express Class 387 EMUs and Southern Class 377 EMUs (subclasses /1 to /4). Southern's former Class 313 EMUs were also allocated to the depot until their retirement in 2023.[citation needed]
